So that if we want to broaden horizons, we say להרחיב אופקים[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/להרחיב-אופקים-#.m4a” /], since אופקים[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/להרחיב-אופקים-#.m4a” /] is more than one אופק[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/להרחיב-אופקים-#.m4a” /] – horizon.
